Default "dry dock" in the water???

Since often (too often) boats develop problems with
an outdrive requiring the boat to be pulled, which is
often quite the pain in the ass, it seems there should
be some way of putting an enclosure around the
outdrive which is big enough to hold a person, so
it could be pumped out and someone could get in
to work on the drive. Does anyone know of such?

Never heard of such a thing. Find a neighbor with a boat lift or
rent/borrow a trailer. In exchange for a few dinero you could
probably get a rack storage facility to pull you out with a fork lift
and leave you on an outdoor cradle for a day or two.
